Whit Stillman — whose last movie, 2011’s “Damsels in Distress,” was made after a 13-year hiatus by the director — didn’t take as long to make another.

His “Love & Friendship” will have its world premiere at Sundance in January.

The film’s an 18th-century period piece based on Jane Austen’s novella “Lady ­Susan,” and stars Kate Beckinsale and Chloë Sevigny. Beckinsale and Sevigny also starred in Stillman’s 1998 release “The Last Days of Disco” together — about literary college grads frequenting a Studio 54-like club.
